Our Mission

After the loss of a spouse, the surviving partner often experiences depression and hopelessness as they have lost their life-long companion. Everyday tasks may be more difficult as they are surrounded by constant reminders of the love they have lost. The best thing you can do for your parent is to be there and support them as they grieve.

Being a caregiver is not an easy job. To look after an individual (or a bunch of individuals) for long periods of time can be both physically and emotionally taxing. In the process, the caregiver usually forgets to take care of his or her health. It’s not just a lack of sleep or lack of socialization, but also bad nutrition that goes into keeping them energized throughout the day.

As a caregiver, your job revolves around helping others. When you’re in a situation like that, it’s all too easy to forget about your own health and wellbeing. However, if you’re not taking care of yourself appropriately, then the quality of care that you provide to others very well may decrease.

Father’s Day is the perfect time to show the father or grandfather you’re caring for some appreciation. And what better way to do it than by giving a gift? Gifts don’t always have to come in colorful boxes and with brilliantly-colored bows. In fact, there are plenty of ways to give that don’t break the bank.

When the weather starts to heat up, it brings with it additional dangers. Excessive heat is already dangerous for people of any age, but for seniors, it can pose a dire threat.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, you should remember that celebrating holidays is good for your health — and for the health of the person you’re taking care of. Luckily, making Mother’s Day fun for seniors doesn’t have to break the bank or involve a lot of strenuous activities.
